Novo Nordisk has made robust gains of 40% at the stock markets since April, supported by the success of oral Wegovy and attractive valuations. The Wegovy pill can see a nice revenue uptick in Q2 2026 going by recent data, and that can continue into the year as it gains approvals from international markets. Importantly, the pill has made gains even when competitor Eli Lilly's Foundayo has seen limited success, which can give Novo Nordisk a much-needed boost.
Novo Nordisk (NVO) closed the most recent trading day at $51.48, moving +1.82% from the previous trading session.
Novo Nordisk wins EC approval for a once-daily oral Wegovy pill for obesity, expanding its EU franchise with the first GLP-1 tablet for weight management.
